Variational said the token generation event for its $VAR token is now scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026. According to ChainCatcher, the project said the delay follows a major strategic partnership.

The initial token allocation will consist of 32% for genesis distribution, 18% for ecosystem reserves, and 50% for the team and investors. Genesis tokens will be airdropped based on Variational points holdings and fully unlocked at the TGE, while ecosystem reserves will be retained by the Variational Foundation for ecosystem growth and distributed at its discretion.

Team and investor tokens will be locked for 12 months after the TGE and then unlock over at least three years. Team members will also be subject to individual vesting arrangements, and the exact allocations for both groups will be disclosed before the TGE.

Variational said all revenue directed to its treasury will be used to buy back and burn $VAR. Weekly point distributions will continue until the TGE at 150,000 points per week. Accounts must hold at least 1 point to be eligible to sign the terms and claim the genesis allocation, and any unclaimed portion will be burned.

The project had originally planned to end its points program in the third quarter of 2026 and launch $VAR afterward. In the final weeks before the TGE, it plans to end private testing, bring Omni to public mainnet, expand swap functionality, release a trading API, and publish more details on buybacks and token utility.
